Fired up Zings!

Jimbo better not be to tough on his assistants, more of them might quit.

Could the government send a drone over to blow leaves off my roof? Now that would be useful!

Hey, it’s baseball season. Let’s give them the attention they deserve and put football on the back burner until its over.

Maybe the Board of Trustees should consider renaming FAMU to Florida’s Interim A&M University, or FIAMU. Think of the money saved if you just keep appointing interim presidents, coaches, administrators, faculty, etc.

The person who thinks he’s saving us higher gas prices is delusional. It takes the energy equivalent of about 80,000 miles worth of driving to create the batteries he’s using.

Instead of twice annually resetting all the clocks one hour, just split it once by a half-hour and Leave It Alone. Forever.

Marco Rubio stated “Voters sent us here and they expect us to stand for the things we stand for,” so wrong, Marco – you are there to serve the will of the people who elected you.

The Space Shuttle can travel roughly 600 miles away from earth. The moon is approximately 238,900 miles away. And we went there in 1969??? Ok, I think I got it….

Is it a conspiracy when conspiracy theorists conspire to create conspiracies?

What’s this, “shifting into high gear” searching for a new FAMU president? What have they been doing for the past year??

The only hard and fast requirement for FAMU’s next president is he NOT be a graduate of FAMU.

If the House and Senate kill Gov. Scott’s Medicaid expansion effort, will he retaliate by vetoing their FRS elimination bills? Wouldn’t that be something.

What are the chances of retired Pope Benedict writing a tell all book about the Vatican? Are the TV and movie guys after him?

Bob Gabordi is right on a great issue. One has to wonder if Sunshine would slow down privatization.

To think for even one minute that our Legislature could come up with its own form of Medicaid that would be cost effective and beneficial is beyond anyone’s wildest dream. Did they have breakfast with Paul Ryan, too?

Senate bill ups some campaign contributions. Now the House and Senate have found something they can agree on.

What happened to all the complaints about “government death panels”? I guess they are OK as long as you are cutting “entitlements” …

I am going to offer up self deprivation for Lent this year.

Love the wildflowers growing in the medians on Kinegha in Killearn Lakes! Hope they plant Talla-happy sunflowers too!

I flipped the light switch and the bulb blew out. This global warming nonsense is getting out of hand!

When the FAMU vs FSU game is played at Bragg Stadium how many tickets will my boss get for his skybox & how many will I get for my season tickets? Oh now. I get it. All the games will be played at the “old white guys” stadium..

If the goal has been quality education, we have been coming up short for decades!

Why does Obama need the secret service? The media protects him twenty-four seven.

Your 401-k has gotten back to where it was five years ago… and you think that’s progress? Hope you change.

An effective airline security measure would be to chain all passengers to their seats and prohibit anyone from getting up.

Since the terrorists caused the devastating winter storms throughout the nation, the U.S. should attack some Mideast country.

Before election, voters think that a candidate will represent them. After the election the voters are expected to represent the elected.

One politician’s “flip-flop” is another’s improved education.

I support the Second Amendment right to bear firearms because I think that one day we will need them to protect ourselves from the supporters of the Second Amendment.

Voters should be required to identify themselves. They shouldn’t be allowed to vote if they can’t recognize themselves in a mirror.

Oaths interfere with elected officials’ ability to bargain in bad faith.

Congress’ oath of office should be changed to: “I refuse to participate in a Congress which would have people like me as members”.

Florida’s been standing its ground for a really long time. Has anyone besides me ever noticed that the state is shaped like a pistol?

Seems Mr. Stocks letter to the editor and Mrs. Frisby’s column hit sore spots in the community concerning hybrid car special privileged parking. In smacks of social engineering from the “Green Bully Pulpit”. At the very least it stinks of discrimination.

If you want to know what’s wrong with education today in the age of technology, take a look at the photo of the Success Academy teacher at the chalkboard showing how to multiply fractions by hand. What a waste of precious time for students in the 21st century. So many more important things to learn.

Make flying fun again!

Get real! With air marshals and the loss of courtesy & civility on planes, you think anyone can threaten a plane with golf clubs, pool cues, or 3 inch knives? I rather practice putting or shoot some pool.
